• Optimise and scale databases for large‑scale applications, leveraging SQL, Postgre
  
  SQL, and indexing strategies to ensure performance and maintainability.
• Work closely with expert colleagues who will implement, monitor, and optimise real‑time data pipelines with Kafka, ensuring robust message handling and distributed system performance to power your features.
• Lead the deployment and maintenance of production‑grade code and databases across multiple global markets.
• Monitor post‑release performance, leveraging tools for reliability and system health.
• Collaborate in an Agile environment, mentoring team members and those of other specialisms and fostering a culture of learning and continuous improvement.
• Contribute to the growth of our technology by driving improvements in standards, tools, and processes.

• Strong knowledge of JavaScript, Type Script and React
• Knowledge of React and SSR frameworks such as Remix or Next.js
• Experience building services using Node.js and technologies like Fastify or Express.js
• Experience working in an Agile Scrum environment
• Strong collaboration skills and impulse to share your knowledge across the Frontend team and the wider tech community
• Ability to lead large projects with multiple engineers working on them
• You live for unit and functional testing, using tools such as Jest, React Testing Library and Enzyme
• Good knowledge of build tools such as Webpack, and/or Roll Up
• Desire to get involved with deployment pipeline technologies like AWS and Docker
• Understand and drive build processes and CI tooling (e.g. Jenkins, Circle CI)
• You have opinions on what technologies and standards we should be using now and in the future - we always want to hear new ideas.

Clear Score is currently the biggest marketplace for credit products in the UK and in South Africa with over 15 million users. We are the first company to facilitate access to credit products using Open Banking data, making credit accessible to users with no credit files or low credit scores. In the UK alone, we have established relationships with over 50 of the main lenders and have been a trusted tool for customers to manage their credit and make better financial decisions.

We were the first business to offer free credit reports. We did so because we are user‑centric at our core and believe in leveraging technology to enable positive financial choices. We are design‑led, data‑driven and embed these behaviours in everything we do. Our company culture is a fundamental part of all we have achieved. We believe in hiring smart, driven, passionate and diverse people who are keen on having a real impact in our organisation.

We trust you to manage your own time, so we offer flexible work and no fixed desk hours. We don’t micromanage and believe in measuring outcomes rather than effort.
